Last push of buying trips - back to Japan

買い付け追い込み〜帰国


 

The final push of the buying trip.

 

 

A big move from L.A. to Riverside, and then to Pomona and Corona.

 

Eventually, a flat tire led to

 

aドキドキ [heart-pounding] first experience.

 

 

 

We made deals directly with collector friends and visited Noriega Records' house, finding many treasures.

 

A suspicious deal happening outside an event venue where rare soul collectors gather

 

In the garage of an OG Lowrider's house

 

A hard-digging couple I've been good friends with for a long time

 

At Noriega's house, which I visited for the first time 📷️

 

 

 

After the last event,

and somehow spending a night at the last inn with a massive cockroach infestation, it was finally the day to return home...



Checking out of the hotel and returning the rental car


went smoothly, but


since it was a rental car company I had never used before, I messed up with the shuttle bus to Lax Airport and arrived just barely in time.


 

After a strict baggage inspection,

 

and having to take out everything from my luggage that I had packed almost all night,

 

we finally took off.

 

I safely returned home yesterday.



I will start uploading purchased items next week.

 

Stay tuned!
